Hire smarter,
not harder.
We know hiring is about more than filling a role—it’s about finding someone who fits your workplace. At Job Zone d’emploi, we connect local employers like you with people who are ready to work and eager to grow. And we back every connection with real insight, local knowledge, and ongoing support.
Working with us
We're your hiring partner.
Here's how we help you connect with the right people and keep them.
Tell us what you need
Reach out by phone, email, or through our form. A Job Developer will connect with you — ideally in person — to understand your business, your team, and what you're looking for in a hire.
Build your plan
Based on your needs, we'll explore the best path forward. That could mean:
- matching you with a job-ready candidate from our network
- posting your opening on our local job board
- helping you tap into wage subsidies that offset hiring and training costs.
Meet your match
If we have a candidate within our pool of clients who fits, we'll make the connection. Our candidates have been supported with resume building, interview prep, and skills training. So they come to you ready to contribute.
We stay with you after the hire
This is where most services stop. We don't.
After a placement, our Retention Specialist checks in with both you and the new employee to make sure the fit is working. If challenges come up, we help you work through them for up to 10 weeks.

Why employers choose Job Zone d'emploi
Pre-screened candidates
We work one-on-one with job seekers to get them job-ready before we ever make an introduction. You meet people who are prepared and motivated.
Wage subsidies available
Through our Brokered Incentive Agreement (BIA) program, eligible hires may come with a government-backed wage subsidy to help offset your training and onboarding costs.
Post-hire support
If a BIA placement is applicable, our Retention Specialist stays connected with you for up to 10 weeks. We’re here with coaching, check-ins, and real support when it matters.
Local knowledge
We've been embedded in Cornwall, Stormont, and Dundas since 1985. We know the labour market, the employers, and the community. And we use that knowledge to make better matches.
Free interview space

Say hi to Dan

Questions employers ask us
We’ve got the answers, without any jargon, or fine print.
Nothing. Our services are completely free for employers. We're a non-profit funded by Employment Ontario, and our role is to strengthen the local workforce for job seekers and employers alike. There are no fees, no contracts, and no hidden costs.
It depends on the role and your requirements. Some matches happen within days — especially when we already have a job-ready candidate in our network who fits your needs. For more specialized or specific roles, it may take a few weeks. Your Job Developer will keep you in the loop throughout the process.
Through our Brokered Incentive Agreement (BIA) program, eligible employers can receive a government-backed wage subsidy to help offset the costs of hiring and training a new employee. It's designed to lower the risk of bringing someone on; especially if they're newer to the workforce or building skills on the job. Your Job Developer can walk you through eligibility and how to get started.
We don't send resumes in bulk. We work one-on-one with every job seeker — helping them build their resume, prepare for interviews, and get job-ready — before we ever make an introduction. When we connect you with a candidate, it's because we believe they're a strong fit for your role and your workplace.
This is one of the things that makes us different.
If eligible, a hire through our Brokered Incentive Agreement (BIA) program means our Retention Specialist stays in touch with you for up to 10 weeks and with the new employee for up to 12 months. That means regular check-ins, support if challenges come up, and a real person to call if you need advice on how to make the placement work. Simply put, we don't disappear after the handshake.
Yes, and we understand how frustrating that can be. If a past placement or referral didn't work out, we want to hear about it. That feedback helps us make better matches going forward. Our goal is a long-term hiring partnership, not a one-time transaction, and we take that seriously.
Absolutely. Our job board is open to local employers in Cornwall, Stormont, and Dundas. You can post your opening directly through our website and it'll be visible to job seekers in the area. If you'd like additional support (like candidate matching or access to wage subsidies) we're here for that too, whenever you're ready.
We serve employers across Cornwall, Stormont, and Dundas. If your business operates in or hires from this region, we can help. Our satellite locations in Morrisburg and Winchester make it easier to connect with employers and job seekers in the counties as well.
That's one of the most common frustrations we hear from employers. When you work with us directly, we review our pool of candidates to see which ones could be a good fit based on your specific requirements. So, you spend less time sorting through applications and more time meeting people who could be a good match.
